Back-to-School Shopping Tips

It’s hard to believe, but September is here, and with it plenty of back-to-school shopping. Whether you’re a college student in search of a new pair of specs, a teacher heading back to the blackboard, or a parent seeking new eyewear for the kids, we have some eyewear shopping tips to help you score an A+ on your next pair of glasses!

Look for great deals

There are lots of great back-to-school and Labor Day sales that extend throughout the month of September, making it a perfect opportunity to shop and save. The Eye Elegance end-of-season promotion is on now, and includes big savings on select styles at both of our locations: Montrose and Post Oak.

Shopping for kids? Ask a few questions

If you’re shopping for a younger student, consider a few things while you’re shopping, such as:

• Eye exam: Start with an eye exam and get an accurate prescription.  Make sure your child’s eyes are healthy and you’re not wasting money on an outdated prescription, then shop for frames.
• Frame material: Kids have different needs in terms of frame strength and flexibility, as well as weight and cost.
• Sports/activities: Don’t forget about prescription sport and/or sunglasses! If your child is active in sports, he or she will also need protection for the court or field.
• Warranties: Ask about warranties on frames and lenses. Torn between two pairs? Ask how the warranties compare!
